BVA Update Kirk Jarvie, project manager from BVA, distributed a draft proposal for Resource Recovery Prioritization in Salt Lake County. He reviewed the proposal with Council members and covered additional items not covered in previous meetings. Romney Stewart suggested that Council members review the draft proposal and return comments to Daniel Bauer by February 7. Mr. Bauer could then consolidate those comments and forward them to BVA. Anyone interested in receiving a copy of the report should so indicate on the attendance roll with their name and address so that a copy can be forwarded to them. Mr. Brad Oakley, Advanced Petroleum Recycling, introduced himself to the Council and other attendees. He indicated that his firm was equipped to recycle used motor oil from residents of the Salt Lake Valley. He also indicated that his firm would be able to recycle used antifreeze. He was invited to become involved with the Solid Waste Advisory Board and the Mayor's Recycling Committee to assist in the recycling of used motor oil in the valley. Romney Stewart asked Mary Pat Buchman for information regarding the State's position regarding House Bill #277. She indicated that she did not have any information on the Bill. Romney Stewart suggested that representatives from the Council meet with Representative Pignanelli to present the Council's position and give additional information regarding what was occurring in the Salt Lake Valley regarding resource recovery in order to provide him with other pertinent information. - 2 - • I Tosh Kano, Assistant Director of Public Works, had received a request from Commissioner Shimizu asking the a meeting be scheduled to let legislators know that waste reduction was not a State issue, but rather a local issue and that the Salt Lake Valley was doing something about waste reduction and recycling. 2. SWAB Update Greg Walkenhorst indicated that the Solid Waste Advisory Board had met on January 17. The Board discussed legislative issues and the BVA draft report (December 7, 1989) . He indicated that Phil Bunton would now serve as a member of SWAB representing the Utah Manufacturer's Association; he will take Larry Bunkall's place on SWAB. He is a specialist in environmental control for Amoco Oil. Minutes are being kept of the regularly scheduled SWAB meetings; meetings are generally held the Wednesday prior to the Landfill Council meeting. Romney Stewart asked that a copy of the minutes from SWAB meetings be sent to members of the Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste Management Council. 3 . UST Soil Acceptance Guidelines Daniel Bauer indicated that he had requested Kent Miner to prepare the criteria for the Council to review on UST Solid Acceptance Guidelines. The guidelines Mr. Bauer distributed were a draft compiled by Kent Miner. Soil that contains 0 to 100 parts per million contamination could be used for intermediate or final cover by the Landfill operation. Soil with higher contamination would go to the Landfill's Soil Regeneration Site for blending before being used as cover material. E. T. Technologies representative Cindy Anderberg indicated that ET Technologies would take soil with contamination from 100 to 5,000 parts per million at $8.40 per ton. Soil contaminated from 5,000 to 10,000 parts per million would be $24.00 per ton. Soil higher than 10,000 parts per million would be $30.00 per ton. This rate structure has been recommended to make it more realistic for companies needing to dispose of contaminated soil. This would apply to UST of known product such as diesel fuel or gasoline. Daniel Bauer suggested that a policy be prepared for the Landfill operation that is more explicit, but follows the basic outline prepared by Kent Miner. Mr. Bauer will compile a UST Soil Acceptance Policy for the Salt Lake Valley Landfill operation. This policy will be presented to the Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste Management Council for approval. - 3 - S 4. Emcon Update Daniel Bauer indicated that the Emcon contract had been approved and the money encumbered. Paul Maughan is preparing some finishing details that will be attached. Rich Hueghey will be in Salt Lake City February 1 and would like to start the engineering study at that time. The Emcon contract expires on October 31, 1990. 5. Operations Update Daniel Bauer indicated that the operation of the Landfill was going well. The weather has allowed more construction than in prior years. The increase in fees for whole and shredded tires went into affect on January 1, 1990. The volume of tires being disposed of at the Landfill has decreased. Romney Stewart asked Daniel Bauer for a report on the statistics comparing volume of shredded and whole tires for previous years. 6 . Legislative Report House Bill 277, known as the Utah Waste Recycling Act, sponsored by Representative Pignanelli, would require cities and towns to develop plans to recycle 25% of the solid-waste materials they obtain within the next year. House and Senate Bills on recycling tires have been prepared. There would be a $1.00 per new tire fee assessed to tire purchasers by the State. The money collected would be placed in the general fund to be drawn on by tire recyclers at a rate of $21.00 per ton to be used for used tire end uses (mats, fuel, etc. ) . Greg Walkenhorst indicated that members of SWAB endorse the tire recycling bill; they do not, however, endorse the mandated recycling bill. Romney Stewart suggested the Council be authorized to take a position on the bills affecting solid waste disposal, as well as make a position statement to submit to legislators. Tosh Kano indicated that House Bill 54 would alter the weight of vehicles by 12% per axle, allowing 5 tons per axle for vehicles on the road. This increase in weight would have a major impact on roads throughout the valley. - 4 - S • 7. Other Romney Stewart indicated that an audit of the Solid Waste Disposal Division (Salt Lake Valley Landfill) had been completed and the report had been approved by the Salt Lake County Commission. This audit was conducted by the Salt Lake County Auditor's Office. Romney Stewart requested that a copy of the audit be provided to all Council members. Daniel Bauer and members of the Council had approached Wildlife Resources for approval to add to the height on existing modules on Wildlife Resource property by 15 feet. Wildlife Resources did not respond favorably to the increased height. Wildlife Resources would like the Solid Waste Disposal Division to keep the modules at the existing height. Daniel Bauer distributed a pamphlet entitle "Household Waste - Issues and Opportunities" to members of the Council. The pamphlet was recently purchased by the Solid Waste Disposal Division for distribution. Kent Miner indicated that the Portland Cement was considering the purchase of a CERCLA site near the Salt Lake Valley Landfill (approximately 10-20 acres) to dispose of the cement kiln dust from their facility if the site is approved for disposal of this material. If the site is approved, additional monitoring of the Landfill site will be necessary to assure the environmental sound status of the Salt Lake Valley Landfill. Geographical limitation recommendations should be ready for review and comments from the Landfill Council in the near future. Wasatch County is still disposing of their solid waste at the Salt Lake Valley Landfill. They were given a two year time limit for disposing of their solid waste in Salt Lake County as they prepared for a new landfill. Wasatch County was to report to the Council with an update every six months; a recent update is now due. Daniel Bauer indicated that upon completion, the Bay View Landfill in Utah County will be able to take Wasatch County solid waste. Bay View Landfill will not be ready until the summer of 1990, however. Tosh Kano suggested that emergency plans for earthquake related solid waste disposal at the Salt Lake Valley Landfill be prepared. He indicated that Daniel Bauer should make recommendations regarding this type of disposal. - 5 - . S III The next Council meeting will be March 2, 1990 at 10:00 A.M.
